My budget is $2500
The screen must be no greater than 14 inches.
It must not be prone to overheating. *very important*
resolution above 1440x900
Noise is not an issue.
Upgradeable CPU/GPU are a plus.
No HP laptops.
multiple ssd/hdd combo are preferred.

My budget is $2500 - less than half the max price
The screen must be no greater than 14 inches. - exactly 14"
It must not be prone to overheating. *very important* - not sure about that, but nobody complains about that in the reviews
resolution above 1440x900 - yup
Noise is not an issue. - okay
Upgradeable CPU/GPU are a plus. - you can upgrade the GPU, but I don't know about the CPU
No HP laptops. - MSI
multiple ssd/hdd combo are preferred. - yup

$1809. The spare battery is $100, might actually want that. And the SSD's were $460, a bit overkill but hey you said $2500. Absolute most power you can buy at this size.

If you don't want power, look into Sony VAIO Pro or Sony VAIO DUO. Both are 13.3" 1080p touchscreens, the Pro being the thinnest and lightest laptop ever, while the DUO being a convertible. But with Intel i7 dual cores and intel HD4400 graphics, don't expect to play any games. But they definitely have enough power for regular stuff.Edited by Lombax - 8/8/13 at 9:44pm
